Portrait day

Brody posing

Our three dogs-Toby, Brodie, and Zest. Brodie is quite smart, nearly fearless, but very trainable, and is going to be a very handsome boy.

Mountain bike ride through the bush. Highest point on Abaco. East-Atlantic, North, West--the shallows called the "Marls". Homemade pizza.

The Kayak challenge--aptly named.

Hmmm, 25 knot winds and rain.

The drive to Little Harbor-about 40 minutes

This is the route--no-one did 13 miles--the last 5 would be upwind!

Picturesque Little Harbor--no electrical supply to this place! All solar or generator!

Off we go!  First leg is downwind.  You know what that means for the last leg!

My kayaking buddy, Marjolein.

They said up a creek!

Stop for a snack before the upwind leg.  No pictures of that--couldn't see through the spray, much less take a picture!

Back to Pete's Pub for a reward.

One calm day Roo and I went snorkeling: Lionfish, squirrelfish, fan coral, giant puffer, urchin, close-up of lionfish, queen angel and company

Walkabout with Roo; the local boys get a cookie; The Great Cistern--a blue hole in the jungle; Bromeliads and orchids in the wild

Morning paddle in the rain. Saw a "flight" of spotted rays but couldn't get a picture

Visited Donnie Wood, Scott's artist friend, went to lunch on the water for fried conch (mmmm!), a visit to his studio and hand-made house, and beachcombing for treasures!

Good cocoanut crop and some other flora on a sunny day
